[PATCH 1/2] dt-bindings: pfuze100: add optional pfuze-disable-sw binding

From: Marco Felsch
Date: Thu Jul 12 2018 - 07:02:55 EST


This binding is used to keep the backward compatibility with the current
dtb's [1]. The binding informs the driver that the unused switch regulators
can be disabled.
If it is not specified, the driver doesn't disable the switch regulators.
